Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon

This is the second book in the Outlander Series written by Diana Gabaldon. I would say that it definitely added to the series, it expanded the world and on the characters we love and hate, while added a few new ones.

I have to say, over all I did enjoy the second installment. I will say this book starts off on the slower side; I had to push through the first 75 pages or so. I am glad I pushed through and didn’t give up. You follow Clare on a new adventure and you hear and see characters you never thought you would hear from. Diana Gabaldon is good at surprising readers in this way. All I have to say is I did not expect what was coming when I started this book and honestly it is refreshing to be surprised by books lately, because so many have the same troupes. That is not to say that this series is free of them, but is it less predictable in that way.

I would say if you enjoyed the first one in the series you will enjoy this one as well, but do be warned it does start a tad bit slowly so it might be a little difficult to get into right away. I gave this book a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
